This sepia photo reminds me of the photos I use to see in history books as a child about the Dust Bowl in the 30'ds.The people abandoned their homes and moved on with their hopes for a brighter tomarrow.

I knew it was you before downloading... --> The Jojo's touch !!!
Not for the sepia tone, but for the composition and your love of old barns or houses...

Thanks Lucy&Pierre.You are right about the abandoned buildings.I think Samatar was right when he said I like to photograph places that get little attention and bring them to light.

Very thought provoking is my take on your images as I have sort of hinted at before. I agree with the others about the rich sepia and the great Joe style composition. Great image Joe and your porfolio is overflowing with great photography, especially the recent sepia images:-)

Nice touch, Joseph! Yes, the sepia really ads to the 30s feel of abandonment and dispair in the Dust Bowl era. This is one house a coat of paint ain't gonna fix!

Wow its so homey. Didn't even look like a sepia at first, a 10/10 for perfectly capturing the ruggedness of summer...
